This study investigated the adsorptive and desorption capacity of HgCl2 onto powdered activated carbon derived from carbon black of pyrolyzed waste tires (CPBAC) via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Due to incomplete classification and recycling of municipal solid wastes (MSW), they still mix with a lot of hazardous materials, which unfortunately can not be removed by incinerators and air pollution control devices(APCDs). Among them, mercury and its pollutants attract more attention by people. Mercury and its pollutants emitted from the incineration of municipal solid wastes could cause severely adverse effects on human health and ecosystem since they exist mainly in vapor phase due to high vapor pressure. If they can not be remove by the air pollution control devices, they will be emitted to the atmosphere and cause serious effects on environmental ecology via various routes. Activated carbon has been widely applied to the treatment of organic compounds and heavy metals in wastewater and waste gas stream. However, the adsorptive capacity of activated carbon decreases with adsorption temperature. The low adsorptive capacity of activated carbon at high temperature (>150 oC) can be overcome by impregnated activated carbons. Previous study reported that sulfur impregnated powdered activated carbons could effectively remove the vapor-phase elemental mercury (Hgo) emitted from MSW incinerators and utility power plants. However, the impregnated typically used is sulfur (S) which is solely applied for the adsorption of elemental mercury (Hgo). Besides, these studies seldom investigate the distribution of impregnated sulfur in the inner pores of activated carbon and its effects on the specific surface area and pore size distribution. Thus, this study was to investigate the fundamental mechanisms for the adsorption/desorption of HgCl2 by/from sulfur impregnated PAC. Experimental results indicated that the sulfur content of sulfur impregnated CBPAC decreased with increasing impregnation temperatures form 400 to 650 oC; while the surface area of sulfur impregnated CBPAC increased with impregnation temperatures. In this study, TGA was applied to obtain the adsorptive capacity of HgCl2 onto CBPAC with adsorption temperature (150oC) and influent HgCl2 concentration (100~500 £gg/m3). Experimental results indicated that the adsorptive capacity of CBPAC increased with the increase of influent HgCl2 concentration and surface area of the activated carbon. This study revealed that the impregnation of sulfur on CBPAC could increase its adsorption capacity at high temperatures. Desorption experimental parameters included desorption temperature (400, 500, and 600 oC), heating rate (10, 15, and 20 oC /min) and regeneration cycle (1~7 cycles). In probing into the regeneration efficiency of CBPAC, experiments were conducted at the desorption times of 60 and 30 min. The results suggested the regeneration efficiency of carbon under 30 min was generally highter than that under 60 min. Because the desorption time was more longer and the sulfur content was lesser. Therefore, the regeneration times was reduce. Experimental results indicated that the mechanism of HgCl2 desorption from the spent CPBAC was strongly affected by desorption temperature. Both the desorption efficiency and the desorption rate of HgCl2 increased dramatically with desorption temperature. The desorption heat of HgCl2 (823 KJ/mole) was much higher than the vaporization heat of HgCl2 (59.2 KJ/mole), indicating that the adsorption of HgCl2 on sulfur impregnated CBPAC was chemical adsorption. Consequently, raising desorption temperature could enhance the desorption of HgCl2 and shorten the duration for HgCl2 desorption. Moreover, the formation of HgS during the desorption of HgCl2 from activated carbons can be proved by the surface characteristics of sulfur impregnated activated carbons. Results obtained from the regeneration of sulfur impregnated activated carbons indicated that the regeneration cycles decreased as the desorption duration increased. It was attributed to the potential desorption of sulfur from actived carbons, which thus decreased the adsorptive capacity and the regeneration cycles.

Biomass fast pyrolysis liquid, also known as bio-oil, is a promising renewable fuel for heat and power generation; however, implementing crude bio-oil in some current combustion systems can degrade combustion performance and emissions. In this study, optimizing fuel properties to improve combustion is considered. Various bio-oils with different fuel properties are tested in a pilot stabilized spray burner under very close flow conditions. Effects of solids, ash and water content of bio-oil as well as ethanol blending were examined. The results show the amount of solids and ash fractions of the fuel were correlated with combustion efficiency. The CO and unburned hydrocarbon emissions decreased with both water and ethanol content. Increasing the fuel’s volatile content by blending in ethanol has been shown to improve flame stability. Also, the organic fraction of particulate matter emissions was found to be a strong function of the thermogravimetric analysis residue of the fuel.

Global warming is an unequivocal fact proved by the persistent rise of the average temperature of the earth. IPCC reported that scientists were more than 90 % certain that most of the global warming was caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by human activities. One alternative to combat the GHG is to explore technologies for utilizing CO2 already generated by current energy systems and develop methods to convert CO2 into useful combustible gases. Two-step conversion of CO2 with catalysts is one of the most promising methods. Ceria (CeO2) is chosen as the main catalyst for this conversion in the thesis. It releases O2 when it is reduced in a heating process, and then absorbs O2 from CO2 to produce CO when it is re-oxidized in a cooling process. To make the conversion economic, solar power is employed to drive the conversion system. In this thesis, a flexible system with fluidized bed reactors (FBRs) is introduced. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried out to examine the performance of ceria during its reduction and oxidation. Subsequently, the exergy analysis was used to evaluate the system’s capability on exporting work. The theoretical fuel to chemical efficiency varied from 4.85 % to 43.2 % for CO2 conversions. To investigate the operation mechanism of the system, a mathematical model was built up for the dynamic simulation of the system. Variables such as temperatures and efficiencies were calculated and recorded for different cases. The optimum working condition was found out to be at 1300 ⁰C for the commercial type of ceria. Finally, an experimental system was set up. The hydrodynamics and heat transfer in the fluidized bed reactor were studied. A CFD model was built up and validated with the experimental trials around 120 ⁰C. The model was then used as a reliable tool for the optimization of the reactor. The entire work in the thesis follows the procedure of developing an engineering system. It forms a solid basis for further improvements of the system to recycle CO2. / <p>QC 20141006</p>

The oxidation of three different steels used in the construction of petroleum refineryheaters was investigated by using thermogravimetric analysis technique (TGA). C-5,P-11, and P-22 steel samples were tested in two different oxidizing environments / air and CO2+N2+H2O (that simulates the combustion products of natural gas) at two different temperatures / 450oC and 500oC. In air oxidation P-22 had the best oxidation resistance among the three steels at two temperatures. In CO2+N2+H2O environment,C-5 possessed better oxidation resistance than P-22 and P-11. Analyses of oxidation products by using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were carried out to correlate TGA results to oxide composition and morphology. Lower oxidation rate of P-22 in air was explained with reference to the formation of Cr-O phase. Analytical rate equations showed that all the steels obeyed parabolic rate equation during oxidation and no transition was observed

(Coleoptera: Curculionidade), um besouro que ataca diversas espécies de palmeiras e é o principal vetor do nematódeo Bursaphelenchus cocophylus, agente causador da doença do anel vermelho.No Brasil, esse besouro ataca principalmente o coqueiro e o dendezeiro, culturas de grande relevância econômica para o país. Esse feromônio vem sendo utilizado em iscas do tipo eppendorf com um orifício na tampa para controlar a população do besouro. Esse dispositivo facilita a liberação lenta quando comparada à evaporação direta do estado líquido. No entanto, a validade dessas iscas depende da velocidade de evaporação do rincoforol através do dispositivo, que libera quantidade excessiva do feromônio. Com o objetivo de prolongar o tempo de liberação do rincoforol, diferentes zeólitos foram sintetizados, caracterizados e avaliados em relação à sua utilização como adsorvente para o rincoforol. Para isso, a influência de variáveis como: estrutura do zeólito, razão Si/Al, natureza do cátion de compensação, dimensão de poros e acidez foi verificada para o processo de adsorção. Devido à falta de informações referente à estabilidade do rincoforol, foi realizado um estudo termogravimétrico sobre seu comportamento térmico. Estudos de recuperação demonstraram que houve interação entre o rincoforol e os zeólitos ZSM-5 e MCM-22 nas diferentes razões Si/Al, resultando na degradação do feromônio, inviabilizando seu uso como suporte para liberação prolongada. Os materiais silicalita-1, zeólito Y e zeólito L apresentaram bons resultados de recuperação e a liberação do rincoforol a partir desses materiais foi medida em uma termobalança em condição isotérmica. Resultados promissores foram observados quando a velocidade de liberação obtida a partir dos zeólitos foi comparada com o rincoforol comercial. Assim, os estudos realizados nesse trabalho permitiu selecionar zeólitos com grande potencial comercial como dispositivo liberador do rincoforol por um período prolongado. / Salvador

Among these new possibilities deserves attention biodiesel, fuel cleaner and easy to reproduce. The study of new technologies involving that source is necessary. From this context, the paper aims at analyzing the thermal stability by thermogravimetric analysis, of the waste generated from atmospheric distillation of mixtures with ratios of 5, 10, 15 and 20% palm biodiesel in diesel with and without addition of BHT antioxidant. It was synthesized biodiesel through palm oil, via homogeneous catalysis in the presence of KOH, with and without the use of BHT and subsequently added to the diesel common indoor type (S1800) from a gas station BR. The diesel was already added with 5% biodiesel, and thus the proportions used for these blends were subtracted from the existing ratio in diesel fuel, resulting in the following proportions palm oil biodiesel: 0% (B5), 5% (B10), 10 % (B15) and 15% (B20). From atmospheric distillation analysis, performed in mixtures with and without BHT were collected residue generated by each sample and performed a thermal study from the thermogravimetric analysis at a heating rate of 10 ?C.min-1, nitrogen atmosphere and heating to 600 ? C. According to the specifications of Resolution No. 7/2008 for biodiesel, it was found that the material was synthesized in accordance with the specifications. For mixtures, it was noted that the samples were in accordance with the ANP Resolution No. 42/2009. Given the TG / DTG curves of the samples of waste mixtures with and without BHT antioxidant was able to observe that they showed a single stage of thermal decomposition attributed to decomposition of heavy hydrocarbons and esters and other heavier constituents of the waste sample weighed. The thermal behavior of residues from atmospheric distillation of mixtures of diesel / biodiesel is very important to understand how this affects the proper functioning of the engine. A large amount of waste can generate a high content of particulate material, coke formation and carbonaceous deposits in engine valves, compromising their performance / A crescente demanda mundial por energia fornecida pelos combust?veis f?sseis, um dos principais respons?veis pela emiss?o de poluentes ? atmosfera e causadores de problemas ambientais, vem estimulando governos e Organismos internacionais a refletir e incentivar o uso de fontes alternativas renov?veis.

Firstly, it was selected a kinetic model most suitable to use with obtained data from thermogravimetric analysis. The results pointed the first order model like most suitable. It was performed a factorial analysis 22 in order to analyze the system. The experimental variables have varied simultaneously and systematically (heating rate and particle diameter). The responsevariables were used to evaluate the kinetic parameters. The experimental results of the factorial design showed that heating rate was the effect more significant and there were not interactions between the studied variables. The results showed that activity energy decreased when the heating rate increased and, it increased with increasing particle diameter. The heating rate of 10°C/min achieved the best kinetic parameters. Statistical method was applied to fluidized bed followed a 23 factorial design to evaluate the influence of variables: temperature, fluidized rate and height of fluidized bed. Response variables were yield of oil, yield of gas and, yield of solid. The results showed that temperature was the variable most significant for the pirolysis process at fluidized bed. / Doutorado / Termica e Fluidos / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica

Nesta tese investiga-se a sorção de \'SO IND.2\' por um calcário dolomítico brasileiro em duas diferentes configurações experimentais: um analisador termogravimétrico e um combustor de carvão em leito fluidizado atmosférico borbulhante. Os experimentos termogravimétricos foram realizados em condições tão próximas quanto possível àquelas observadas no processo de combustão em leito fluidizado. Coeficientes intrínsecos de taxa de reação, efetividades e conversões foram determinados através de termogravimetria em atmosfera contendo 65% de ar sintético, 15% de \'CO IND.2\' e 20% de \'SO IND.2\', para quatro diferentes granulometrias do calcário dolomítico (385, 545, 725 e 775 µm) em quatro diferentes temperaturas de processo (800, 830, 860 e 890 graus Celsius). Os coeficientes intrínsecos de taxa de reação, na condição de máxima taxa de reação, resultaram entre 3,86 x \'10 POT.-3\' e 7,07 x \'10 POT.-3\' m/s. As efetividades médias para 200 segundos de reação resultaram entre 0,37 e 0,49/s. As conversões após 600 segundos de sulfatação resultaram entre 0,40 e 0,49 kmol(\'SO IND.2\')/kmol(\'CA\'+\'MG\') . Nos experimentos em combustor de leito fluidizado obteveram-se coeficientes globais de taxa de reação, conversões e eficiência de sorção de \'SO IND.2\'. Considerou-se um calcário dolomítico em cinco diferentes granulometrias médias (385, 545, 718, 725 e 775 µm) e um carvão mineral brasileiro (CE4500) com granulometria média de 385 µm. Aplicaram-se temperaturas entre 798,2 e 886,6 graus Celsius, U/Umf entre 5,6 e 10,8 m/s, e relações molares (\'CA\'+\'MG\')/S na alimentação entre 3,7 e 11,9 kmol(\'CA\'+\'MG\')/kmol(s). O coeficiente global de taxa de reação resultou entre 0,009 e 0,072 m/s, a conversão resultou entre 0,020 e 0,064 kmol(\'SO IND.2\')/kmol(\'CA\'+\'MG\'), e a eficiência de sorção de \'SO IND.2\' resultou entre 46,4 e 83,9%. Os coeficientes globais de taxa de sulfatação obtidos em leito fluidizado foram comparados com os coeficientes intrínsecos de taxa de reação obtidos via termogravimetria. Concluiu-se que condições termogravimétricas mais realistas são necessárias para que a composição de coeficientes de taxa de reação intrínsecos e globais permita análises de controle de reação em reatores de leito fluidizado. / This thesis investigates the sorption of \'SO IND.2\' by a brazilian dolomite in two different experimental setups: a thermogravimetric analyzer and an atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed coal combustor. The thermogravimetric experiments were carried out in conditions as close as possible to those observed in the fluidized bed combustion process. Intrinsic coefficient of reaction rate, effectiveness and conversion were determined through thermogravimetry in synthetic atmosphere containing 65% of air 15% of \'CO IND.2\' and 20% of \'SO IND.2\' for four different dolomite particle sizes (385, 545, 725 and 775 µm) and four different temperatures (800, 830, 860 and 890 Celsius degrees). The results of the intrinsic reaction rate coefficient in the maximum reaction rate conditions were between 3.86 x \'10 POT.-3\' and 7.07 x \'10 POT.-3\' m/s, while the resuls of the average effectiveness for 200 seconds of reaction were between 0.37 and 0.49/s. The values of conversion after 600 seconds of sulfation were between 0.40 and 0.49 kmol(\'SO IND.2\')/kmol(\'CA\'+\'MG\') . Global reaction rate coefficient, conversion and \'SO IND.2\' sorption efficiency were obtained from the fluidized bed combustor experiments for five different dolomite particulate sizes (average diameters of 385, 545, 718, 725 and 775 µm) and a brazilian coal (CE4500) with particle size of 383 \'mü\'m. Temperatures between 798.2 and 886.6 Celsius degrees, U/Umf between 5.6 and 10.8 m/s, and (\'CA\'+\'MG\')/S molar feeding ratios between 3.7 and 11.9 kmol(\'CA\'+\'MG\')/kmol(s) were applied. The results of the global reaction rate coefficient were between 0.009 and 0.072 m/s, the ones of the conversion were between 0.020 and 0.064 kmol(\'SO IND.2\')/kmol(\'CA\'+\'MG\'), and those of the \'SO IND.2\' sorption efficiency were between 46.4 and 83.9%. The global sulfation rate coefficients obtained in fluidized bed were compared to the intrinsic reaction rate coefficients obtained through thermogravimetry. It was concluded that more realistic thermogravimetric conditions are required so that the composition of intrinsic and global reaction rate coefficients can allow for the analyses of reaction rate control in fluidized bed reactors.
